Your points are well taken except for the last quoted one. If it had
been me, I would have sent mail after I found the *first* script
running. Further, having investigated what it was doing, I would have
removed it from my system.
Finally, I would have given the guy the "anon_ftp" list that comes over
alt.sources every so often. That way, no "negation with no replacement". 8)
Calling "Foul" after you let the guy continue to foul you is pretty bogus.
